On the one hand, I am very excited about “My Roanoke Nightmare”. As a bit of a history buff, the idea that the talent team at American Horror Story are going to tackle one of the great mysteries of Americana, is nothing short of a pure thrill. On the other hand, there is the way […]
I am having trouble understanding how a series that had such a great 1st episode has let me down with the following 4 episodes. The 5th episode of the first season of Penny Dreadful is called “Closer than Sisters”. This episode is Vanessa’s backstory. The entire episode could have been summed up in a 2 […]
The word “demimonde” is a French term from the 1800’s that describes a group of people considered to be on the fringes of respectable society (usually women), or a group of people who live hedonistic lifestyles, usually in a flagrant and conspicuous manner. This seems to fit in with the cast of character in Penny […]
Resurrection is the third episode of the first season of Penny Dreadful. I suppose it got its name from the long story about Frankensteins first creation. After he killed the new creation he went on to tell us how Frankenstein ran when he first brought this monster to life. It has since been his sole […]
I must say, the first episode of Penny Dreadful had me hooked. It was well written, suspenseful, intriguing, and beautifully shot. The 2nd episode, Seance, was still beautifully shot.

The term was originally used to describe cheap horror books published in Victorian England. They were sort of a cross between […]
Sleepy Hollow season 4 is not going to be the same show that fans fell in love with. In case you haven’t watched all of season 3, there are massive spoilers ahead… not that I am spoiling anything, the writers did that well enough on their own. For starters, Abbie Mills is gone. Abbie wasn’t […]
All Happy Families are Alike is the finale of season 1 of Gotham. A lot happens in this episode, making it one of the better episodes in this “end of season” arc we have been in for the past few episodes. The episode opens with Selina warming herself at a trash can fire down by […]
The Anvil or the Hammer continues the story of the Ogre, and his new obsession with Barbara. In a way, the criminals obsession mimics Gordon’s obsession with catching him. After last weeks Wayne Ball, Barbara wakes up from a one night stand with the Ogre. As she tries to slink off in the morning, he […]
Under The Knife is the continuation of last weeks episode and is likely a story arc that will continue through the next two episodes to bring us to the end of the season. Gordon has decided to go after the Ogre with everything he has. Gordon tries to convince Dr. Thompkins to leave town until […]
